Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Two separate surgeries in past 18 months (face and leg). Extremely well organized team of professionals at all levels! Dr LaRusso is an amazing surgeon with a great personality. I can highly recommend both her and the team she has put together!

My appointment was at 12:30, I saw her at 1. Dr LaRusso was rushed and she rushed my procedure. I ended up scared and crying. I tried to tell her how I was feeling she said "what about my feelings?? I would NOT  recommend Dr LaRusso to anyone...EVER!

I began going to Dr. LaRusso about a year ago. I have found Dr. LaRusso and her staff to be knowledgeable, caring, and thorough. A few days ago Dr. LaRusso performed MOHS surgery on a cancerous spot on my head. Dr. LaRusso put me at ease in preparation for the surgery by thoroughly explaining the procedure before she began. Because of this, I was very confident during both the surgery and the post-operative procedures. Dr. LaRusso has wonderful bedside manners and I would highly recommend her office to anyone needling dermatology services.

I’m not referring her to any of my friends or family because she piseed me off, has no bedside manners and treated me like I didn’t understand anything she has said. I shared my concern that I was having pain in the area on my surgery and the spot was ozzing yellow.She went to how long it’s going to heal. I said mame this pissed her of and told me not to call her mame. That was disrespectful. In America this is respect. I said again told her I understood the healing process my issue is the the yellow weeping and had pai. She began working on my area without gloves and or washing her hands. She told me she washed them in the hallway, but she also touched the door to come in my room. She then started repeating the same issues she wanted to. When I let her know I understood the healing process, she said I am not talking to you. That I can leave if I wanted, I told her she started this mess and I’m not going anywhere. I may be old but not stupid and I do need my concerns addressed.

Hands down, the best Mohs Surgeon in all of Delaware. Completely removed the Melanoma on my shoulder. After a couple of weeks I can barely see where she cut. Thank you for coming to Middletown.

I am a patient of Sunwise Dermatology and all staff are wonderful from front desk staff to clinical staff and Dr. Larusso is wonderful. I have taken 2 of my children there as well, one for acne and the other for a mole on his chin which was removed with such precision that there is no scar. I will continue to go to Sunwise for all our Dermatology needs.

I had skin cancer by my eye and it was a fairly large piece. I had about 2 1/2 inches of stitches after the surgery. After the stitches were taken out you could hardly see that I even had surgery. The best thing about Dr. LaRusso is she treats you like a family member. She is genuinely concerned with your overall skin care. I do landscaping for a living and she is on me about not wearing enough sunscreen. I would not choose any doctor over her.

Very compassionate, took the time and listened to my concerns at my visit. She made me feel like family from the first visit and now I have my friends and family following up with her. She completed my MOHs in January and my scar is almost invisable. Just an all around great Dermatologist and surgeon. Highly recommend

Wow, reading one of the previous reviews makes me wonder if we saw the same doctor! Dr. LaRusso was so meticulous when it came to my surgery I felt like she was performing it on a relative. She did everything she could to prevent scarring and was so nice and professional. Pay no attention to the hate, it smells fishy.

My son was seen by Dr. LaRusso recently in her new Middletown office. It was delightful to be greeted so personally and efficienciently by the front office staff. Only to get better with her direct medical team who took us back to gather the concerns I had for my 2 year old. Dr. LaRusso spent a good deal of time with us answering every crazy first time mommy questions I had about his delicate skin. This experience could not have gone better.

I visited this individual in June of 2015. I only just found this site, which is why my review is late. She is incredibly rude, condescending and absolutely unhelpful. I came to her because I have contact dermatitis (contact allergies) and after asking for help, she asked me why I was wasting her time. She kept telling me I was "dark" and that's all it was. She's just a terrible human being. She spent about 3 minutes with me, and then left. Don't waste your time or money going to this jerk.

Recently had the Moh's surgery. Very satisfied with the care, concern, and quality of care. As close to a Marcus Welby type experience as once can get in today's Medical arena. It was wonderful to be treated like a person and not a factory experience. Surgery scar looks great. Dr. LaRusso takes time to consider the best outcome. Could not be happier with my experience.
